U.S. market Research agencies, according to medcitynews ABI Research pointed out that this year, controlled by the application of the gestures and eye tracking technology of sensor, the revenue generated will be close to $5 billion. Although there are a number of consumer electronics technology to the digital, but health care still accounts for a large number of market segmentation.
ABI Research, the Research director Jeff Orr had said in a statement that health care professionals are relying on the sensor away from subjective patients' subjective opinions, turned to more quantifiable and measurable outcomes, which changes the patient's care.
Orr said in a telephone interview, health care companies use this kind of sensor technology compared with their development still early, but the market opportunity is enormous.
Here are some examples of this technology, they have a very ambitious applications: from detect visual diagnosis of concussion, making it easier to use in a sterile environment medical imaging software.
A U.S. provide enterprises with augmented reality of computing services industry pioneer Atheer developed a smart Glasses, it is a combination of AR (augmented reality, AR) and gesture, and can produce augmented reality interaction (augmented interactive reality), or may be called AiR Glasses (AiR Glasses). Hands-free platform is designed to control center or patients bedside, therefore, health care professionals can access to medical records at any time.
The macau tide, engineering software company of a new generation of dynamic simulation software MotionView authorized Leap Motion technology -- a combination of DICOM viewer software platform for medical imaging, radiological scanning for Motion, as a way to view the images in the sterile environment. Similar to Atheer pattern.
RightEye is developing eye tracking analysis software, the application in the field of health care, such as concussion and the detection of cerebral apoplexy, and identify potential vision problems, they will probably destroy the military and the performance of the professional sports teams. Orr points out, is the result of interest in military application, can improve the visual ability in military training. He observed that the discovery and validation of concussion is a growing market, especially the technology used in contact sports.
In the visual treatment, Orr thinks, market opportunities is the use of eye tracking technology to forget our innate visual habit.
Neurotrack developed a 5 minute test to detect cognitive function decline, it USES the eye tracking technology to evaluate recognition memory and hippocampal damage. The doctor provides the test. Eye tracking technology to determine what is interesting, what is not interesting, and how the individual differences.
Swedish Tobii eye tracking technology developers first business unit Dynavox mainly applied in health care. Its technology using eye tracking and gesture, to physically handicapped people more control over their environment. For users unable to speak, they can use their fingers, arms, or other parts of the body to operate a keyboard or mouse or touch screen. According to Tobii's official website, they can use the email eye tracking technology, and describe the information of computer. Recently, Tobii its eye tracking technology has been applied, to players for game developers to provide feedback on how to interact with the game.
